Web Services

How can I enable my machine (Win XP and having VS.NET beta 2) for something
like IIS so that I could successfully create web service projects? I mean
is there any thing like developers version of web servers ? How can I easily
configure something like that?

Re: Web Services

You need XP Pro. IIS is on the cd. Goto Control Panel - Add/Remove
Software - Add/Remove Windows Components and it should be in the list. IIS
will not work with XP Home version.

Re: Web Services

Max, there are other solutions than java and upgrading.
Do a search on download.com for example and you'll see there are lots of
free web servers for windows.

Mike: You're spewing misinformation again. I have written a Web service for
managing these newsgroups (moving, deleting posts, etc.) I use it, the DevX
editorial staff use it, and no one has had to pay Microsoft $1 for the
privilege.
